Isn't January the perfect month for reading books? And it's the perfect time for me to provide reviews for five garden and interior design books I have been holding back on. If you have been with me for awhile, you will know that once I write a review I love to give the books away.
So let's begin with a garden book and dream of flowers and their garden homes in the coldest season.
Monacelli Press takes us away with Gardens of the Garden State, by Nancy Berner and Susan Lowry with stunning photographs by Gemma Ingalls.
The authors selected 28 private and public gardens and began an 18 month odyssey documenting the beauty found

Debra--Imagine my shock when I moved from NJ, The Garden State, to AZ - the desert! It's been 42 years and I still miss the flowering dogwoods, cherry, and apple trees; azaleas, rhododendrons, forsythia and so much more! I would love to have this particular book. Thank you for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteWe live in New England and have family in NJ so we visit the state frequently. Most people have no idea how beautiful the state is and this book showcases some of its beauty.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
A garden book is only as good as it's pictures and these look Fabulous!

I've always been intrigued with New Jersey's label of the garden state. This book looks like it makes a case for the name. The book looks like a true inspirational work. Ready to get my gardening gloves on.
